I have a 55 gal, tank but I am only wanting this for a air stone. Do I need the larger one for my tank or would a 10 gallon work for the air stone?

Depends on the size of the air stone, I would hate to speculate without more info, but I can give you some, if you keep the airline length under 24" and the pump above the water level, and keep it to a single air stone, it should work.

Seems to work well in my tank. It's powerful enough. It may work for your needs. Plus it's quiet.

Its all a matter of what you're going to keep in the tank but this should suffice for the size tank you have. Try doing a setup with a gang valve and several fine diffusers if your trying to have a higher level of oxygenation in the tank.

if all the 10 g pump is doing is operating the one air stone, you should be fine

If you have only one air stone( no more than 12") and the pump is resting level with the top of the tank it should work fine. The longer the air hose and if its fighting gravity it may not put out enough air and damage the pump. I'm using the 60 gl pump for a 10 gl tank - 1 24" & 3 1" air stones.

Anytime, and if you do keep it below the tank I would recommed and air check valve with your pump and airline, as well as a pump rated well above your tank;s volume, I would recommend a 75 gallon pump or higher...

I would think that it would be big enough. I have 2. My first one I have 2 6 inch air stones in my 5000 gallon fits tank which boils the water up 4 feet deep plus it has a 4 inch air stone in my 50 gal tank. And a 8 inch air stone in Mt 750 gal tank. And I have 4 4 inch air stones in my hydrophonic plant beds. One pump runs all this with plenty of air. The 2nd air pump I'm just now setting up. It work wonderful for me.

Get the 50W version. My tank is 5 gal and I was recommended 50W's and it works perfectly :)

I would get the biggest one that fits that tank....I have been satisfied with the large unit I have. Built well enough.. Qapla

I used it in a 10 gallon before I put it in my 50 gallon. I kept it turned down all the way, buried it under the gravel and it was great!! I wouldn't turn it up but if you keep it closed off most of the way (the ability to adjust the airflow is a great feature)...and you would be good to go. It is better in my eyes in that way than a smaller bubble stone because if you upgrade in the future it can be used in a much bigger aquarium as well. So short answer-yes you can use it in a 10 gallon. I did.

I use a 10 gallon pump with this. I don't think the tank or filter matters.

I got one for 10 gallons and it doesn't have enough air for two 5 gallons tanks I have so I think we have to go big ;-)

This gravel vacuum is great for a 10 gallon tank. my tank is much smaller and I stir up the rocks to pick up the fish poop.

It will work. I have it on my 75 gallon. It's not as good as my halite but it is good for fish and live rock.

You "could" use it in a ten gallon but it would take up a lot space. It is 5 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches but it says that in the description. The tube sticks up 2 or 3 inches higher. Try to picture that in your tank before you buy it. If you're good with that then it will work fine. Mine is in a 55 gallon tank and has a very large air pump hooked to it. If you use a small air pump it won't move as much water. Jardin makes a smaller filter like this one. I would choose the smaller one over this one for a 10 gallon tank.

The larger pump is very powerful. I have it connected to a four foot long bubbler ( which is very long for a bubbler) and it bubbles like crazy. This may be too much for a 10 gallon tank.

I use a G90 on a 55gal tank. You should always use a larger filter than required on a given size tank. Bigger is better.

It should help. I have a 55 gallon tank and at the time I purchased my rock was having problems with nasty looking water. It does take awhile to make a difference so be patient. The results are great!

Yes, very well! I have a 55 gal and its the best thing ive ever done for my tank. Plenty, but not too much for a 40 gal

Too much? Lol this is perfect for a ten gallon. And you have a 55 which makes me think it's not enough. That's me responding at a 2. Don't make me turn it up to a ten. In all seriousness there is not anything you can do. However, I am still honestly surprised it's too much. May I ask how?

I have no ideal. I purchased, installed lines to multiple 6 inch stones in outdoor KOI pond. 1200 gal pond It makes air and makes fish happy. Other than that I couldn't tell you. It does work and blows air
